The Partridge
This is an image of the partridge, which is too attached to earthly treasures and is almost childlike. He is so desperate for shiny objects that have superficial material worth instead of looking for the eternal which embodies spiritual wealth. The partridge’s attachment to the jewels and their worth have shut him off from experiencing anything including even flying. I drew the partridge standing on the edge of a tree, so close to experiencing the freedom of flight but still attached to his worldly possessions. He is holding the jewels in his beak but slowly, one by one they are falling away to the world below. I used an app called SketchUp 3d on my tablet to draw this drawing. It allowed me to draw freehand while using the computer.
